Formulas Used: UDV Females = -2.097+(0.1069*Ht)+(0.2466*Wt) UDV Males = 2.447-(0.09516*Age)+(0.1074*Ht)+(0.3362*Wt) Where, Ht - Height in centimeters Wt - Weight in kilograms Age - Age in years Note: Patients with acute renal failure have a substantially higher UDV than the prediction. Patients on chronic hemodialysis often have a substantially lower UDV than the prediction. Urea distribution volume calculation is made easier. Free online medical calculators. | |||||||||||
